Chapter 555 Advancement
Within the misty cage, the gray mist surged wildly, attempting to devour the nine-colored light emanating from Lin Xiao's body.
But those nine-colored rays were purer, more intense, and more unstoppable than before.
They bloom in the mist, like the dawn in the darkness, like the spring breeze in the cold winter, gradually dispelling the surrounding gray mist.
A look of shock flashed in the eyes of the God of Mist. He could sense that Lin Xiao's aura was rising at an incredible speed.
The speed of the ascent far exceeded his expectations.
"Impossible...this is impossible..." he murmured, his eyes filled with disbelief. "How could you break through in my misty prison?"
Lin Xiao did not answer, because all his energy was focused on the synthesis.
But he is no longer synthesizing a miniature universe into his body, because that step has already been completed.
What he needs to do now is to consolidate this synthesis and make the miniature universe completely stable within his body.
The seven-colored light of the synthetic talent flowed within Lin Xiao's body, closely connecting every part of the miniature universe to his body.
The stars merged with his cells, the nebulae merged with his blood, and the web of rules merged with his bones.
Lin Xiao could feel that his body was undergoing a qualitative change.
He is no longer an ordinary body of flesh and blood, but a living universe.
Every cell in his body contains the power of the stars, every drop of his blood contains the power of the nebula, and every bone in his body contains the power of rules.
He is the microcosm, and the microcosm is him.
This feeling allowed him to reach a completely new level of understanding of power.
He is no longer merely the controller of power, but power itself.
The God of Mist watched Lin Xiao's transformation, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
He knew he couldn't let Lin Xiao continue to break through.
If Lin Xiao really breaks through to the tenth level, then he will possess power equal to mine. At that point, the outcome will be hard to predict.
"Die!" the God of Mist roared, and gray light condensed in his palm, transforming into a huge pillar of light that crashed down on Lin Xiao.
A smile appeared on Lin Xiao's lips as his omniscient and omnipotent powers were fully activated.
Even at the crucial moment of breakthrough, his power did not diminish in the slightest.
He anticipated the beam of light's trajectory and dodged it by sidestepping.
boom--!
The beam of light slammed into the edge of the misty cage, causing the entire cage to tremble violently.
The God of Mist's expression grew even uglier. He threw punch after punch, and beams of light condensed, hurtling towards Lin Xiao.
But Lin Xiao's figure kept flashing within the misty cage, calmly dodging the attacks of the God of Mist each time.
Attacks powerful enough to destroy stars were child's play to Lin Xiao.
"Damn it!" The God of Mist gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with rage.
He didn't understand why Lin Xiao could maintain such agility when breaking through.
What he didn't know was that Lin Xiao's omniscience and omnipotence had become even more powerful after the miniature universe was synthesized into his body.
Because the microcosm is no longer a domain attached to him, but has become a part of his body.
This means that he can access the power of the microcosm faster, consume less energy, and be more efficient.
It's as natural as using your own arm, as effortless as using your own breath.
While dodging the attacks of the God of Mist, Lin Xiao also strengthened the miniature universe within his body.
He could feel that the threshold for the tenth level was slowly loosening.
Those once indestructible constraints are beginning to crack as they are integrated into the microcosm.
The cracks multiplied and grew larger until—
click-
A clear, crisp sound rang in Lin Xiao's mind.
The tenth-tier shackles shattered.
Lin Xiao's aura began to rise wildly at this moment.
In an instant, it surpassed the limit of the ninth rank and reached a completely new level.
Tenth level.
Lin Xiao opened her eyes, a dazzling light flashing within them.
Nine-colored light surged from his body, illuminating the entire misty prison.
Under the illumination of the nine-colored light, the gray mist melted away as quickly as ice and snow meeting the sun.
The boundaries of the Mist Cage were cracked by the impact of the nine-colored light.
The cracks multiplied and grew larger until—
boom--!
The Mist Cage exploded.
The gray fragments danced in the void before being completely swallowed by the nine-colored light.
Lin Xiao floated in the void, nine-colored light flowing around him, and a miniature universe slowly operated within his body.
His aura was powerful and profound, more than a hundred times stronger than before.
If he was just a star field before, he is now a universe.
The God of Mist looked at Lin Xiao with horror in his eyes.
He could sense that Lin Xiao's aura had reached the same level as his own.
Even stronger than him.
"Tenth rank..." he murmured, his voice trembling slightly, "You actually broke through to the tenth rank..."
"Impossible... This is impossible... How could you possibly break through to the tenth rank... How could the ironclad laws of this universe be broken..."
A smile appeared on Lin Xiao's lips, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"The ironclad laws of the universe? Those are rules only for the weak."
"For true powerhouses, rules are meant to be broken."
His figure vanished from the spot, and in the next instant, he appeared in front of the God of Mist.
Omniscient and omnipotent power was operating at full capacity within him, analyzing everything about the God of Mist.
His power, his rules, his weaknesses, his fears...
Everything was clearly visible in Lin Xiao's consciousness.
The God of Mist's pupils suddenly contracted, and a gray light condensed into a barrier in front of him.
But Lin Xiao did not attack; instead, she watched him quietly.
That look was as if he were looking at an ant, an ant that could be crushed at any moment.
"Do you know?" Lin Xiao spoke, his voice calm yet cold, "Before breaking through to the tenth level, I could only predict your movements, dodge your attacks, and barely withstand your power."
"But now..."
He raised his right hand, and omniscient and omnipotent power covered his palm.
Those powers transformed into intricate runes, flowing through his palm, each rune containing enough power to destroy a galaxy.
"My omniscience and omnipotence have already reached the level of the entire universe and even beings of the tenth order."
The God of Mist turned deathly pale, and his body trembled slightly.
He could sense that Lin Xiao's power was covering the entire battlefield and the entire universe.
In this area of power, he is God, he is the ruler, he is everything.
"No..." the God of Mist murmured, his eyes filled with fear.
Lin Xiao shook her head, a cold glint in her eyes.
Then, he moved.
With a horizontal slash of his right hand, his omniscient and omnipotent power transformed into an invisible blade, slicing towards the God of Mist.
The blade was invisible and intangible, but the God of Mist could sense its presence.
Because it is cutting through the void, cutting through the rules, cutting through everything.
The God of Mist tried to dodge, but his movements were as slow as a snail in the face of Lin Xiao's power.
An invisible blade sliced through the body of the God of Mist.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still.
The God of Mist hovered blankly in the void, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Then, his body began to shift out of place.
The upper and lower body slowly separated.
Gray blood gushed from the incision and floated in the air.
The god of mist was cut in two.
